The st. Louis Murderer. Joins the Fo-
man Catholic Church.
ST. Louis, Mo-. Dec. 2s.-Hugh M.
Brooks, better known as Maxwell, the
trunk murderer, astonished the prisoners
In the Jail by making his first commun-
Ion, and becoming a member of the Cath
olic church. He was faultlessly attired
In a black Prince Albert suit, and went
through the ceremony with great earn-
estness. His case is still pending before
the United States supreme court, on mo-
tion for a hearing on a writ for grant of
error. 1t is generally conceded that the
supreme court can do nothing but affirm
the judgment when the case is heard. II
this follows Msxwell will bs executed
within a month after the affirmation. He
has been busy for several months writing
O psychological treatise OF his crime. 1t
Is based on his defense, and ~purports to-
put on paper the thoughts that teemed
In his brain from the moment he met
Preiler until his arrest at Auckland, for
the awful offense of numbering his
friend. robbing him, and packing the
body in a trunk.

dergone many changes. Many Of his
old haunts had disappeared and in the
great metropolis not one recognized
in him Gerald Chambers. His BUSH
ness occupied much of his time. In
the meantime the papers bad announc-
ed the arrival in the city of ..Mr.
James johnson, a prominent capital
list of Oreton, Colo" Spectators
anticipated a 'sbig deal" and Wall
street opened its doors to him. Alto
gether he was made quite a conspicu-
Gus figure for the time being. Every
body seemed to know all about him,
and he smiled as he thought how little
they really did know. He noticed how
ever-ready is the world to pick up a
man if he has money.
1t was not until the day before his
departure that he found time to call on
Miss De Bar, and he accordingly adj
dressed a note asking permission to
come. Imagine his surprise when the
answer bidding him welcome was
stamped by the same seal. He was
burning with Impotence to solve this
mystery.
Still greater surprises than the mere
semblance of two seals were in store
for him.
A cab soon conveyed him to his
much-desired destination, and when it
stopped directly in front of the house
where in former years Harriet Lane
had lived, his CONSERVATION was mani
testify great. He thought there must
be some mistake, as this was formerly
s. avenue. Inquiry of the cabman
elected the fact that the m of the
streets had been changed.
Miss De Bars maid answered his ring
and ushered him in the drawing-room,
stating that her mistress would be in
shortly. During the brief interval that
he had to himself he discovered
that this was the very room in
which he had last seen Harriet. It
seemed to him as though
the occurrences of the past ten years
had been a dream or horrible night
mare, and that this was the Weakening.
Every thing was just as he had last
seen it; even MI. Lanes portrait hung
in its accustomed place. Further mus
ings were interrupted by the entrance
of the lady of the house. He turned
about. Was it a vision!
Harriet" inyoluntarily escaped his
lips.
Miss De Bar shrank back while her
face assumed an ashen hue. Mr..
johnson was in a like predicament, and
for a few moments there was a painful
silence that seemed to both an age.
